KUCHING, Dec 2: About 1,000 participants took part in the 2024 edition of the Kota Sentosa Christmas Parade (KSCP) despite the drizzle of rain just before the parade started yesterday (Dec 1).
Participants arrived as early as 6pm at Dewan Perniagaan Batu 7 where the programme commenced with a praise and worship performance, a reading from the Bible by organising chairman Pastor Greman Ujang, and a prayer.
At about 7pm, the weather improved as the parade started, which was led by Pastor Greman together with Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap and other distinguished guests.
Following behind are paraders consisting of members of nine churches, clad in blue and light-blue shirts and adorning Christmas hats, while singing and greeting members of the public as they passed by.
During the parade, some of the participants also spread the festive mood by handing out candies to members of the public watching from the roadside.
The parade also showcased participants’ creativity who decorated their vehicles to join in the Christmas theme.
Organised by the Sarawak Evangelical Christian Association (SECA) with support from the Association of Churches Sarawak (ACS), the parade was held to celebrate the Christmas season and strengthen bonds with the diverse Kota Sentosa community. — DayakDaily
